Conference: Genomes 2008

Genomes 2008 [ http://www.pasteur.fr/infosci/conf/sb/genomes_2008/program.html ] is happening in Institut Pasteur, [ http://www.pasteur.fr/ ].
It started with talk from Martin J. Blaser talk who pointed that we are losing H.pylori from the gastric ecology (the H. pylori negative people have altered gastric environment)! This is sad because it is actually helpful to have H.pylori in early life. He pointed out that may be in future doctors will be giving H.pylori supplements to the kids! Then Pascale Cossart talked about Listeria monocytogenes as model organism to study RNA world.
